Hi Anthony,
two things, first you need to inherit a class from TApplication in
which you set the signalhandler. Check the class TRint and make your
own equivalent. Second this class cannot be interpreted. The interpreter
can not call virtual functions of classes derived from compiled classes.
So to solve your problem use a modified version of TRint and compile
it with your own main program (for main program example see
$ROOTSYS/include/MAIN_rmain.cxx).
Cheers, Fons.
